The queen is too black

Chapter 25

"See the emperor, long live the emperor." Everyone knelt down and worshiped.

Xiao Lie was wearing a yellow tapestry robe with a white fox and blue and white robe, two bottomless black pupils quietly watching everyone in the hall, a black hemp belt was tied around his waist, and a black fox fur satin platform was crowned with oriental beads and red knots.Domineering and majestic, his voice is like a bell: "Pingshen."

"Thank you!"

When everyone got up, Xiao Lie opened his mouth and said: "Yesterday afternoon, the Crown Princess was suddenly assassinated. The culprit was Wei Chongming, the Minister of the Household Department. Wei Chongming has been silenced, and the vacancy of the Minister of the Household Department will be filled by Liu Xie. The person who assassinated the Crown Princess The prince will continue to investigate the real culprit behind the scenes."

Xiao Ming just got up and heard that the seat of the servant of the household department was given to Liu Xie, his chest sank, his throat felt a fishy sweetness, his face flushed, he gritted his teeth and swallowed the blood back.

Liu Xie, Du Wei who has been with the crown prince for many years, deals with the military's miscellaneous matters, and is also a brother who was born and died with the crown prince...

Today, he endured the pain of bone erosion and went to the morning court in order to recommend his confidant Wang Bo to take over as the Minister of the Household Department.

But the father directly handed over the position of Minister of the Household Department to Liu Xie, leaving no room for negotiation.Father, how can you be so eccentric.

"I obey!" Xiao Ce bowed his hands and saluted, and replied respectfully.

People in the court looked at Xiao Ce differently.

The Ministry of War, the Ministry of Officials, and the Ministry of Industry have always been in the hands of the prince.

Now that the household department is in the hands of Liu Xie, it is equivalent to being in the hands of the prince.

The second prince has only one Ministry of Rites and one Ministry of Punishment left.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince holds the military power in his hands, and now he is gaining power again.

Although the second prince has the support of the prime minister, he might not have much hope.

Tang Xu saw that everyone was silently sizing up the prince and the second prince and was very anxious.

The second prince, if he can't make any decent contributions and political achievements, he might be trampled underfoot by Xiao Ce forever.

The Yin of the Jingzhao Mansion stepped forward: "Your Majesty Qizuo, a female corpse appeared in the yamen of the Jingzhao Mansion today. The woman's skin was torn apart, her body was covered with scars, and her eyes were wide open, but her body was not rotten. It seems that there is a great grievance. Now There is a lot of rumors. The minister is afraid that his strength is not exhausted, please order a thorough investigation from your majesty."

The flesh and blood in the mouth of Jing Zhaofu Yin's mouth was ripped open, and Tang Xu had an ominous feeling about the female corpse covered in scars...

"It's so powerful, it's absurd!" Xiao Lie yelled angrily at the case: "You are the governor of the capital, maintaining the law and order of the capital, and redressing the grievances of the people is your duty. If you can't even investigate the case, you, the governor of Jingzhao, should stop , let Xian forget it!"

Governor Yang Zhixing was neither humble nor overbearing, and replied: "Your Majesty, I have thoroughly checked and visited the merchants overnight, and I have learned that this woman is Tang Wan's personal servant girl, the eldest lady of the prime minister's mansion. The right to overstep the authority to investigate the case."

When it comes to the Prime Minister's Mansion, a governor really does not have the authority to investigate and deal with it.

Xiao Lie's bottomless eyes stared directly at Tang Xu: "Tang Xu, what is the name of your daughter's personal maid? You must know it!"

Those eyes were fierce and frightening, as if Tang Xu dared to answer a question.His Majesty made him feel as if he was delayed.

Tang Xu pondered, calmly, bowed forward, and replied with reason and evidence: "The little girl's personal servant girl is indeed named Ruyu, but when I get up early to go to court, it's the little girl who serves herself early. That maid Right next to the little girl."

Tang Xu turned around and stared directly at Jingzhao Fu Yin with eagle eyes: "Master Yang, I'm afraid I made a mistake!"

It's just a maid, and when she dies, she dies.

Ruyu is just a name, the person who died yesterday is called Ruyu, and the new one who takes office today can also be called Ruyu.

As long as they don't admit it, who has evidence to prove that the dead woman is Ruyu, the maid beside his daughter.

Yang Zhixing didn't expect the prime minister to deny it.

But as a resolute man, he did not intend to let this matter go.

Fearless of Tang Xu's warning eyes, he said calmly, "Your Majesty Qizuo, I have already reported to the household department, checked Ruyu's household registration, and looked for her relatives to prove her identity."

Yang Zhixing is in his forties this year. He is a rigid man, meticulous in his work and dedicated to serving the people.

Many people in the court admired him, and Xiao Ce also treated him with admiration.

Tang Xu narrowed his eyes slightly and cursed secretly in his heart: This damn Yang Zhixing actually kept a hand.

Yang Zhixing ignored Tang Xu's murderous gaze behind him, and said sincerely: "Your Majesty, the preliminary examination shows that the woman was beaten to death. This is the first time I have seen such a tragic case. I implore Your Majesty to issue an order to allow you to supervise the handling of the case." , to redress the grievances of the deceased and let the deceased rest in peace." After speaking, Yang Zhixing knelt down and begged.

He has been an official for more than [-] years, and he has never seen a case of beating people to death.Feeling indignant.

So he made a thorough investigation overnight, and only then did he learn that maidservants and servants in the prime minister's mansion often disappeared, and immediately concluded that the missing persons, like this maidservant, had been beaten to death in all likelihood.

Today, in the courtroom, he reported the case, and he had to investigate him to get to the bottom of it.

Seeing that Yang Zhixing had started to investigate, Xiao Lie said, "I will allow you to supervise the investigation."

As it was related to the Xiangfu, there must be strong backing for Yang Zhixing.

After careful consideration, Xiao Lie continued: "This matter will be heard by the Crown Prince. No one should obstruct and interfere."

"Follow the order!" Yang Zhixing replied.

"Follow the order!" Xiao Ce replied.

Tang Xu's heart sank, and a glint of darkness flashed across his eyes.

The emperor wants to use this case to suppress the Tang family.

……

Yang Zhixing was impatient, and he followed Tang Xu all the way after he came down to court, in case he sent someone back to report the news and find someone to take his place!
Xiao Ce is also a colleague.

Tang Xu is scheming, and the upright and resolute Yang Zhixing may not be his opponent.

Tang Xu sat in the carriage and told the driver to drive slowly.

He has many disciples, what's the use of staring at him alone.

The news had already reached the Xiangfu.

For a person like Yang Zhixing who believes in death, even if he entangles him to death, he will lose his skin.But this one-sided temperament is really easy to pass.

Madam is thoughtful, and after getting the news, the killer should already be on his way to Ruyu's hometown.

All the horses in the Prime Minister's Mansion are thousands of miles away, how can the wild horses in Jingzhao Mansion be able to match them.

Overcome!

To use the life of a little maid in vain to shake the century-old reputation of the Prime Minister's Mansion, what a fool's dream!
Xiao Ce saw Tang Xu rushing to the Prime Minister's mansion without any haste.

Then he guessed that someone had already taken another shortcut and rushed to Xiangfu to spread the message.

He immediately stepped forward and asked Yang Zhixing: "Where is Ruyu's hometown? Who else is there? The king immediately sent someone to protect him. The prime minister looks confident, so he might secretly kill him to prevent future troubles."

Yang Zhixing immediately replied, "Ruyu's hometown is in Shangyang County, Lichuan."

Xiao Ce ordered Lei Ming behind him: "Arrange people to rush to Shangyang County, Lichuan immediately."
